About Stone Canyon Jasper
Stone Canyon Jasper is a distinctive brecciated jasper-agate blend sourced near Parkfield, California, an area notable for its proximity to the San Andreas Fault and significant seismic activity. The term "brecciated" refers to its formation: fragments of preexisting minerals were fractured by tectonic forces and later cemented together by a fine-grained matrix, resulting in a mosaic-like appearance. This jasper is prized for its intricate patterns and rich colors, often featuring a mix of reds, yellows, and browns interspersed with agate veins. Its solid structure allows it to take a high polish, making it a favored material for lapidary work and jewelry design.
